Cannot enter debug mode on Tiva-C Launchpad when using CCSv5.5

Running CCS5.5 on WinXP machine.   Loaded Lab2 defined in TMC123G_Launchpad_Workshop_Workbook.pdf

Program builds and loads ok.   If I push the reset switch on the Launchpad,program runs ok, but cannot stepin,stepout etc to debug program.

I also am taking an edX course that uses the Tiva-C Launchpad.   Using Keil compiler on Win7 machine and all works ok with the target Launchpad.

Any suggestions/help are appreciated.

Thank you,

Sigurd

  • Have you checked if you have any license problem with CCS. To my experience, if CCS license is expired on invalid, you couldn't enter the debug mode but you still could compile and do the free run.

  • turned out the problem was that I had somehow closed the "debug window", so even though there are debug controls, most of which are greyed out, I could not enter debug mode.   Solution was to View, debug to bring up the debug window and then the controls that were greyed out were no longer greyed out.

    Thank you for the opportunity to ask a question, and thanks to the person that suggested it might be a license problem.  I verified that was not the case.
